I guess it is BE746 sold by MARTIN CHISHOLM COLLECTORS CARS LTD in 2013. Snippet from the advertise that time:
QuoteChassis number BE746 was one of this 169 examples built. It left Thames Ditton on the 16th July 1959 to be
delivered to it's first owner Gerald Ward of Hungerford. Captain Ward, as he was known at the time, was the
Great-Grandson of the 1st Earl of Dudley and was serving with Royal Horse Guards when he bought the AC.
His family had strong ties with the Royals and he was a close friend of the Prince of Wales and was even touted
by the press as a fitting suitor for Princess Anne. His long standing friendship with Prince Charles lead to him
being asked to stand as a Godfather to Prince Harry in 1984.

Please, correct me if I am wrong.
